How much did that cost? 'Cash-strapped' Tori Spelling throws lavish cowboy-themed birthday party for kids

In her new book Spelling It Like It Is, the actress wrote spending $1,000 on a vasectomy for husband Dean McDermott was financially prohibitive.

But then on Sunday she threw a lavish cowboy-themed birthday party for two of her children that looked to cost in the thousands.

Living high on the hog: On Sunday Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott threw a lavish birthday party for two of their children at Underwood Family Farms just outside LA

Held at Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark, which is one hour outside of downtown Los Angeles, the event was full of frills even though there was a down home Western feel.

There was not one but two tiered Hansen's birthday cakes for the special guests. One was pink for daughter Hattie, who has turned aged two, and the other was blue for son Finn, who just marked his first year. Those alone must have cost hundreds of dollars.

Then there were the gifts. One picnic table overflowed with toys that included $60 Big Hug Sesame Street Elmos and $25 Playskool elephants. Also seen were Smart Trike Bikes that go for $125 each.

Dean was seen serving up a full lunch of burgers and hot dogs to friends. There was also a dessert table that offered Pumpkin Brittle. Picnic tables had freshly cut flowers and cowboy hats as party favors. And face painting was available.

Tori, 40, and Dean, 46, both were geared up in full cowboy outfits.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star looked slim in her tight jeans, white tank top, blue plaid shirt and brown cowboy boots. Her hair was pulled into pigtails that were topped off by a woven cowboy hat. Red lipstick added a splash of glamor.

Her husband of seven years wore a similar outfit, only his plaid shirt was red.

Both looked to be stress free and happy as they played with their children, who were all done up in cute cowboy costumes, with the girls in fun, pink cowboy boots. In addition to Hattie and Finn, the couple also has son Liam, aged six, and daughter Stella, aged five.

Tori has been on a dizzy press tour promoting her new book. On Tuesday the beauty told ABC News she was not 'broke,' but would not offer details after her interviewer Celia Vega said the star was reportedly worth $15 million. In the past Tori has said she was not a millionaire.

The blonde didn't grow up with any financial concerns. In fact, when her film and television producer
father Aaron Spelling died in 2006, he left behind an estate worth
an estimated $500 million.

But
Tori was widely reported to have only received approximately
$800,000 in cash and stocks in the late TV mogul's will.

And
now, amid claims she is going through money troubles, the reality star has revealed she had expected more of her
father's substantial fortune.

'I lost my father. I lost my hero,' she told ABC News when asked if she expected a greater settlement. 'But did I think I would get more? Yes.'

Tori's mother Candy, with whom she has reportedly had a difficult relationship, inherited the bulk of her husband's fortune.

'You say, "I want to set the record straight. I
didn’t have $1 million." That is shocking to a lot of people. Set the record straight. Are you broke?' asked Celia.

'I am not broke. No,' Tori said, admitting she has scaled back some of her spending habits.

On Wednesday the actress told The
Talk, 'It's all so individual, I think. And you have to put it within
context. I wrote about [my money issues] simply because I think
sometimes people think celebrities' lives are so glamorous and so
perfect.

'I was simply showing that I have
made some bad choices financially. It happens! We're not above anyone
else, we make bad choices and financially we get ourselves into holes.
Things are good now.'

Tori apologised to her husband for revealing they couldn't afford to get an expensive reversible vasectomy.

She said: 'I just have to say, I love
my husband. My poor husband, he's like, "Why did you even write that?
Now people are talking about my junk." And I said, "I'm sorry, babe."

'If you read the book, you will see
that, within the story, it's a funny story that I talk about. We were
just saying that at the time financially . . . a vasectomy is too
expensive at the doctor we went to.'

Tori also addressed rumours that she
is planning to ink a deal with a pornography company to release a sex
tape, which she and Dean made in 2009, after being offered a
'substantial' amount of money. She said: 'No! Absolutely not. Give me
some credit, I'm a mom of four.'
